The Vdrive™ System is intended to stabilize, navigate and control compatible intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheters to facilitate visualization of cardiac structures during the performance of cardiac procedures when used in conjunction with Stereotaxis compatible V-Sono™ disposable sets in the Vdrive™ system. Compatible catheters at this time include Biosense Webster, Inc. Soundstart™ 3D Ultrasound Catheters and Acuson AcuNav™ Ultrasound Catheters. Other models of ICE catheters have not been tested with the Vdrive™ system. Vdrive™ with V-Sono™ is indicated for remotely controlling the advancement, retraction, rotation and anterior-posterior deflection of compatible ultrasound catheters inserted into the right atrium.
Device Story
Vdrive™ with V-Sono™ is a robotic system for remote manipulation of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheters. System components include hardware (control box, adjustable arm, drive unit), software-driven user interfaces (tableside and dedicated controllers), and sterile, single-use V-Sono™ disposable kits (handle clamps, catheter support, drape). The physician operates the system from a control room to remotely control catheter advancement, retraction, rotation, and anterior-posterior deflection. Mechanical drive units translate user inputs into catheter movement. The system provides 3 axes of movement and variable speed control. It includes manual override and emergency stop capabilities. By stabilizing and navigating ICE catheters, the device facilitates visualization of cardiac structures during cardiac procedures. It is intended for use in the right atrium.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical data provided. Evidence includes a comparative preclinical animal study evaluating manual versus Vdrive™ manipulation of ICE catheters using the V-Sono™ disposable. Bench testing included electrical safety, EMC compatibility, sterility, packaging, and verification/validation testing.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises electromechanical hardware, software-driven controllers, and sterile single-use disposable kits. Movement is mechanical across 3 axes. Sterilization of disposables via EtO. Connectivity includes tableside and remote control room interfaces. Software-driven control of catheter advancement, retraction, rotation, and deflection.
Indications for Use
Indicated for remote control of advancement, retraction, rotation, and anterior-posterior deflection of compatible ICE catheters (Biosense Webster Soundstar 3D, Acuson AcuNav) inserted into the right atrium for cardiac visualization during procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.
